These bars on the window, they keep me in
Though they are not quite what you would expect
They're not strong or thick, but flimsy and thin.
Instead of iron, they're made of plastic

Although they do stop me physically
It is not in the conventional sense
Of "lock her up and throw away the key"
More like the subtle warning of a fence

They shun the thing that is fueling my fire
Leaving me in darkness, too familiar
The heaviness keeps at bay my desire
To leap into unknown, the barely blur

They trap me not like the bird in a cage
Rather, they stifle, like the soul in rage

It's time to fly
A little birdie told me
I hope you get your dreams
And at that moment
I knew, I already had them
Because time is not linear
It circles around us,
Weaves through us
It is our breath and our blood
Our hopes and dreams
Time is a magic remedy
Not, as most see it, an enemy
Trust time, trust love
Have faith
In what's above
And what's below
Faith in-between
Your toes
Listen to your ears
Taste your mouth,
Feel your essence
Smell everything,
Everything but your fear,
It is no more
See your dreams
And you will be
Living them soon

Breath fills the body, just as you do. You make up the universe; the universe is an enigma. All is one.

Just another pair of socks,
Mismatched, all for the shock.
Just another fad to follow,
Act like a raven but you're a swallow
Just another carbon copy
Stay in the lines or look sloppy
Just another flock of birds
Forget following; stray from the herd

Sing me a lullaby
Put these thoughts to rest
With the best high
The warmth in your chest
I knew you before
But not like this
Did I open a new door?
What did I miss?

I've seen another galaxy
It's just for you and me

It could not have happened
If this were another day
Wouldn't, couldn't, but did
Work out this strange way
It was perfect, you see

Led down the same path
We stumbled blindly into each other
Our galaxy was born, alas
Calm, crazy, hot and happy
How could just one night
Make me feel so right?
Ah, tread swiftly, softly
For our galaxy is just that:
Ours.
And they will not understand
They will pull back their hands
And curl them into fists
Or damage their wrists

We are their light
They are our shadows
Crouching tiger, hidden dragon
We lie awake til’ our sun shines on

The curtain will draw once more
Never to be closed again
And sun will pour over our bodies
Like an orange being squeezed
Fresh from the trees
It will weaken our knees

It will engulf us instantaneously
And we will be swallowed
By the humbled body of serenity
Left lounging on cloud mounds
Left with each others'
Complementary company

Moisture sinks into tree leaves
Eyes drop tears in a delicate flow
Do you keep the tears that freeze?
People are frightened to show
When they are envious of trees

She weeps in secret silence
Like a bird with a broken wing,
So baffled it cannot sing
Forever perched
On that lucky trees’ limbs

How – how I express,
Where – where I cry,
The journal and the sky
Old man says life ends in a tie
…but I say that he tells a lie

A man deprived
He must decide
Do, or die… or else.
I gathered his thoughts
And I got false.

Then I met her,
She, who deserves,
She, who is reserved,
She’s fond of chocolates,
Crazed: crazed
Eyes an unfaltering maze of gaze

Why can’t beauty find
This time and place,
Strive and trace; trace…
Problems gobbled up,
Once they are raised
Oh, God help us
To ease and face
The dawn of fate

Dare not go exploring in the cave of curiosity
It lies after the lines that never should be passed
Little good comes from knowing what your eyes can't see

What dwells in the cave makes your mind race at full velocity
The knowledge is scarce, but questions, they are vast
Dare not go exploring in the cave of curiosity

After exiting the fever begins to brew inside of me
Can't sleep. Can't eat. Must confront my fears at last
Little good comes from knowing what your eyes can't see

Although to compare one to the other would be absurdity
I can no longer decipher present wounds from those of past
Dare not go exploring in the cave of curiosity

Everything about her pumps my veins with ferocity
I see her. I snap. My heart starts beating much too fast
Little good comes from knowing what your eyes can't see

Jealous and angry are what I never wished to be
But I see rays of sunshine in my upcoming forecast
I dare never again to go into the cave of curiosity
Because there I found, that no good comes
From knowing what your eyes can't see
